(430 Nm) available between 4,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm. Compared to the model it replaces, the new version of the RS5 Coupe consumes 0.3 liters / 100 km less so fuel consumption is rated at 10.5 liters / 100 km.

The power unit is linked to a seven-speed S tronic transmission that allows the car to do the 0-62 mph sprint in 4.5 seconds, on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Upon request, the top speed limiter can be increased to 174 mph (280 km/h).
